I'm sorry I can't be with you today When all the family's gathered in one place. But I am with you in another way, A current in the stream of what you say, Alive within your consciousness of grace. I'm sorry I can't be with you today
To share your happiness and touch the clay That once it was my fortune to embrace. But I am with you in another way,
An intimate that time cannot betray, With you always, unconstrained by space. I'm sorry I can't be with you today
To watch with you the slanting sunlight play, Casting lovely shadows through the lace. But I am with you in another way,
Waiting for you where the shadows lay Their darkness soft across your gentle face. I'm sorry I can't be with you today. But I am with you in another way.
